• Resumen

  • The prehistory of comic strips is characterised by the working out of the relationship between text and image. This study of Christophe' s work shows how the authorial textual strategy ultimately tries to thwart the emergence of a semiosis specific to visual images by constantly mocking and j or pointing out the mimetic aspect of the visual «figure » (and of the cartoon « character »). But this strategy reveals what it is trying to deny — that the intelligibility of visual narrative is always already not a matter of mimesis but of semiosis.
